Let Me Re-Introduce You to Land's End

You know Land's End, right? Well I'm not sure you know THIS Land's End. The catalog arrived a few weeks ago and I was folding corners right and left (BTW, that tactic NEVER works in getting my husband's attention, but I do it anyway). Here are a few of my picks (all available in petite and plus-size too).

This shirt is so cute for winter and the chambray-lined cuffs add that extra little bit of detail.

I bet you never thought you'd say anything Land's End looked Chanelesque...this plaid fringe texture jacket goes there. 

And these jeans are SO cute, and get great reviews (actually, I'll take the entire outfit). I'm really tempted to order a pair. 

I might need a pair of these berry rouge corduroy jeans. 

The pop of yellow in this cashmere sweater brings a little sunshine to colder weathers. 

Are any of you Land's End shoppers? 

Wear Pattern

I have this habit of wearing holes in the elbows of my sweaters. On Friday I was having lunch with a friend when she pointed out a hole in my favorite black crew neck cashmere sweater. I've had it for years (at least 6 or 7), so I wasn't shocked...but still disappointed. I bought it on Bluefly, and the brand is Hayden. This is what the sweater looks like...simple, black cashmere.

I think I paid around $99 for it, and currently it is on sale for $79.20. This sweater comes in a wide variety of colors, wears and washes well (by hand of course) and is equal quality to other more expensive brands. So, if you are looking for quality, affordable cashmere, look no further than Bluefly. I am going to see if my seamstress can patch up the hole, but if she can't, I might be buying the same sweater for a second time. I also have my eye on these Hayden color block sweaters!

Do you have a favorite brand of cashmere?
